Abstract:
Optimization method for aerodynamic layout of supersonic passenger aircraft with the aim of reducing drag force and sonic boom loudness is presented. By the process of optimal solution search with fixed lift coefficient the wing twist, the shape of centerline and V-angle of the wing are varied. Wing planform and its volume are unaltered. Examples of optimization for test wing-body type aerodynamic layout are presented.
Keywords:supersonic civil aircraft, optimization, sonic boom.
